U; type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := L) is record S : String (1 .. I); end record; type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type; A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => U, S => (others => ASCII.NUL)), 2 => (I => 1, S => "A"), 3 => (I => 2, S => "AB")); ... where "L" and "U" are variables, trying to apply the repeat operator to "A1(1)" yields to an internal error: | (gdb) print a1(1)@3 | $5 = /[...]/gdbtypes.c:4883: internal-error: type* copy_type(const type*): | Assertion `TYPE_OBJFILE_OWNED (type)' failed. What happens first is that the ada-lang module evaluated the "A1(1)" sub-expression returning a structure where "I" (one of the fields in that structure) has a type which is dynamic, because it is a range type whose bounds are not statically known. Next, we apply the repeat ('@') operator, which is done via allocate_repeat_value, which creates an array type with the correct bounds to associate to our value, by calling lookup_array_range_type: | struct type * | lookup_array_range_type (struct type *element_type, | LONGEST low_bound, LONGEST high_bound) | { | struct gdbarch *gdbarch = get_type_arch (element_type); | struct type *index_type = builtin_type (gdbarch)->builtin_int; | struct type *range_type | = create_static_range_type (NULL, index_type, low_bound, high_bound); | | return create_array_type (NULL, element_type, range_type); | } As we can see, this creates an array type whose index type is always owned by the gdbarch. This is where the problem lies. Next, we use that type to construct a struct value. That value then gets passed to the valprint module, which then checks whether our object is dynamic or not. And because field "I" above had a dynamic range type, we end up determining by association that the artificial repeat array itself is also dynamic. So we attempt to resolve the type, which leads to trying to copying that type. And because the artifical array created by lookup_array_range_type has an index which is not objfile-owned, we trip the assertion. This patch fixes the issue by enhancing lookup_array_range_type to create an index type which has the same owner as the element type. gdb/ChangeLog: * gdbtypes.c (lookup_array_range_type): Make sure the array's index type is objfile-owned if the element type is as well. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * testsuite/gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp: Add "print a1(1)@3" test. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 2a344dd0f4e..c6651f57e35 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2018-01-31 Joel Brobecker + + * gdbtypes.c (lookup_array_range_type): Make sure the array's + index type is objfile-owned if the element type is as well. + 2018-01-31 Joel Brobecker GDB 8.1 released. diff --git a/gdb/gdbtypes.c b/gdb/gdbtypes.c index 18a0f2f60fa..79bb6596fc2 100644 --- a/gdb/gdbtypes.c +++ b/gdb/gdbtypes.c @@ -1231,10 +1231,15 @@ struct type * lookup_array_range_type (struct type *element_type, LONGEST low_bound, LONGEST high_bound) { - struct gdbarch *gdbarch = get_type_arch (element_type); - struct type *index_type = builtin_type (gdbarch)->builtin_int; - struct type *range_type - = create_static_range_type (NULL, index_type, low_bound, high_bound); + struct type *index_type; + struct type *range_type; + + if (TYPE_OBJFILE_OWNED (element_type)) + index_type = objfile_type (TYPE_OWNER (element_type).objfile)->builtin_int; + else + index_type = builtin_type (get_type_arch (element_type))->builtin_int; + range_type = create_static_range_type (NULL, index_type, + low_bound, high_bound); return create_array_type (NULL, element_type, range_type); } diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog b/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog index 19b3eda9f81..fa0da609622 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,7 @@ +2018-01-31 Joel Brobecker + + * testsuite/gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp: Add "print a1(1)@3" test. + 2018-01-30 Pedro Alves PR gdb/13211 diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp index 0267ca192bf..dae51061161 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp @@ -39,3 +39,22 @@ gdb_test "print A1(3)" \ gdb_test "print A1(1..3)" \ "\\(\\(i => 0, s => \"\"\\), \\(i => 1, s => \"A\"\\), \\(i => 2, s => \"AB\"\\)\\)" + +# Test the use of the "repeat" operator (@). +# +# Note that, in this case, the repeat operator makes little sense +# and is NOT equivalent to requesting an array slice.
